Things looked rather grim for blog favorite Sebastian Vettel at the beginning of the race, as he was in 4th place on the grid, behind teammate Mark Webber (on the pole for the first time in his career), and both Brawns.
Fast forward to the end of the race, which resulted in Webber getting the first win of his 130 race career, with Vettel coming in second. The Brawns ended up in 5th and 6th.
In terms of the season, Brawn's Jenson Button still leads the championship with 68 points. Barichello, formerly in 2nd place, has now been relegated to 4th place, in part due to his poor showing at the Nurburgring, and also due to the pace of the Red Bulls. Vettel now has 47 points, and Webber has 45.5. 8 Grands Prix remain for Vettel to make up a deficit of 21 points. Here's hoping.
And it seems that the Brawns did not heed my constant exhortations to run into each other, and take each other out of the race...

Soon the Berawns will listen to you I'm sure.
I'm hoping.
I imagine them as the Brawny paper towel guy, just so you know.
